"After the Acadians were deported in 1755, the Bishop family was granted land that would become one of the oldest farms along the banks of the Cornwallis River (Chijekwtook) in present-day Greenwich, Nova Scotia (Mi’kma’ki).

John, Timothy, and William Bishop were among the first settler Planters to begin farming in 1760. They cultivated crops, fruit orchards, and dairy cows. Their hard work and dedication to the land built a farming legacy spanned generations.

Current owners Sandy and Avard Bishop took over full operations of the farm in 1955. Twenty years later, they brought their two eldest sons, Andrew and Stirling into the family business. The Bishops incorporated Noggins Corner Farm in 1992. The name “Noggins Corner” refers to the late 1800s when weary travelers bought “noggins” of rum from an old farmhouse in Greenwich. The family has worked hard to perfect the art of apple growing, which continues to be their main crop."

Today, Noggins Corner Farm is one of the oldest farms in Nova Scotia. It has seven markets across the province.

Many of the ingredients in tonight's menu, such as the seasonal vegetables, pears (in the canapé), and caponata, are sourced from them.
